Just what I needed to manufacture a couple of gears.

Works just fine. Would buy again.

It seems ok for the money but all the movements were very gritty, after machining they just assembled without any cleaning or deburring then filled it with junk grease and hoped no one would notice, typical of Chinese equipment.EDIT: after deburr cleaning and better lube, it seems of good quality. Runout on the chuck is.003 acceptable but I plan to make it better. Notice the picture of backplate, almost half the surface for mating to the spindle was untouched when machining it. I raised it one star that_ being generous.

This is a very nice dividing head for the money. Pretty well finished and smooth operating, very little lash in the gearing.If you were thinking to use an ER32 chuck in the headstock taper note that the taper is #2 Morse not #7B&S as stated in the specifications. That is really good news given that the ER32 chuck adapter for #2 Morse is much cheaper than the #7 B&S. They are also available with 10mm drawbar threads so you can eliminate the chance of slipping in the taper.I checked the run-out specifications and found the following: Radial run-out of the spindle nose spec 0.0006" Actual

Works fine good quality.

I wasn't expecting this item to arrive for another week, and I had no idea what I was going to find on my front porch today. It came in a sturdy box with three straps. I picked it up to tote it to the shop, and was concerned to hear tink clink sounds as I walked. With some trepidation, I cut the straps, and cut open the box.The first thing I found was some meaningless generic inspection sheet. Youtube is full of videos of people checking these things out, and finding the actual errors on the actual product aren't even close to the numbers printed on the sheet. I figured this would be no exception, so I set the sheet aside and ignored it.Under the sheet was a decent quality manual. It's not terribly helpful, and I have no idea how to actually read the charts in the back. It's sort of written in English. It has some strange errors, but nothing horrible, and it's basically comprehensible. It's just not especially helpful. I figured I would go remedy that problem by digging up a copy of the real Brown & Sharpe manual, and that's when I discovered that the manual included with this product is pretty much a word for word and picture for picture copy. The pictures in the manual with this product are actually more helpful, and the charts in this manual are easier to read. So neither one of them is going to teach me much about how to use this accessory, but the Chinese manual is actually a bit better than the original on the whole.The product itself seems to be made quite well. I haven't cut any gears yet, because it arrived before my gear cutters. What I have done is play with everything. The action when cranking the chuck around is very smooth. The action of locking the direct indexing plunger into the holes in the front plate just couldn't be any better than it is. It has just enough slop to function without feeling sloppy. The action of dropping the plunger on the crank into holes on the indirect indexing side plates feels a little janky, but it's not bad. I've never used a real B&S dividing head, and I imagine it might feel slightly janky as well. That's just kind of what the mechanism is. It doesn't seem like anything is wrong with it, or that it's made poorly. The fit and finish of the little indexing arms that rotate around the plate is just impressive.The chuck feels pretty cheap, because, let's face it, it is a pretty inexpensive 3-jaw scroll chuck. I decided to take it apart and have a look. To get it off the dividing head, I locked the direct indexing plunger into one of the holes, put the chuck key into one of the holes, and tapped the key a couple of times with a dead blow hammer. It came right off. The provided thread protector collar fits perfectly, and the drive center does as well.The chuck itself is made better than I really expected. It feels like maybe it could have used deburring or polishing or something. The parts fit together a little too snugly. The leading edge of the scroll is kind of vague and hard to see when it's coming arou

La tavola a dividere ha un ottimo rapporto qualit-prezzo e contrariamente alle aspettative si dimostrata di ottima fattura. il funzionamento fluido e senza giochi

This dividing head has been fantastic. It is very durable and exceedingly accurate. It fights with my vise for space on the milling machine and often wins. There are so many projects that I can get done in far shorter time than I was able to before buying this. I am so grateful to have added this to my tool collection.

Solide plateau diviseur, ne cherchez pas effectuer des travaux au centi_e, mais je m'en sers pour tailler des engrenages de comtoise, il fait tout fait ce que j'attends de lui en rattrapant le petit jeu. Bonne finition pour le prix.

This unit went into a shop that supports both a museum and a low volume commercial small job shop, so I did not expect to be doing divider work very often. However, I have found it to be very versital and its low profile makes it easy to add to the BP table along side the mill vise. My only complaints are that the tilt feature does not have a shot pin at either the 90 or 0 degree position and the jaws are not soft-jaw compatible. The tilt issue means that the chuck needs to be dialed in whenever it is moved and that it can be knocked out of tram just under normal operation. The soft-jaw problem is not really fixable, its just nice to be able to use soft jaws for delicate work. Despite these minor issues, its a good value for the money and I can see that it will be a workhorse in my shop.
